Dimectal Powder for Oral Suspension 3g 30s

Dimectal Powder for Oral Suspension 3g is a gastrointestinal protectant belonging to the antidiarrhoeal medication class, containing diosmectite (dioctahedral smectite) as its active ingredient. Diosmectite is a natural purified clay compound that works locally in the digestive tract by forming a protective barrier over the intestinal lining and helping bind substances that may contribute to diarrhoea. If you're using this product for the first time, you're probably wondering how it fits into managing diarrhoea symptoms — it comes as a powder in single-dose sachets that must be mixed with water or semi-liquid food before consumption. It is suitable for adults and children, with the dose adjusted according to age. Constipation is the most common side effect and usually improves after reducing the dose or stopping treatment. Since it works locally in the gut and is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, it is generally well tolerated. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist beyond 7 days or occur with fever or vomiting.

For adults, the usual dose is one sachet (3g) three times daily. In cases of severe acute diarrhoea, the initial dose may be increased temporarily as advised by a healthcare professional.

For children:

• Children over 2 years: 2–3 sachets daily, divided into multiple doses
• Children 1–2 years: 1–2 sachets daily, divided into multiple doses
• Infants under 1 year: Usually 1 sachet daily, divided into 2–3 administrations

Children and infants with diarrhoea should also receive oral rehydration solution when needed to prevent dehydration.

• Constipation
• Bloating or abdominal distension
• Mild abdominal discomfort
• Flatulence
• Nausea (uncommon)
• Dizziness (uncommon)
• Skin rash or itching (rare)
• Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions (rare)

Store the sachets below 30°C, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the product in its original packaging and out of reach of children. Once mixed, the suspension should be consumed promptly and should not be stored for later use.

• Dissolve the sachet completely before consumption
• Consume the prepared suspension immediately after mixing
• Use oral rehydration solution alongside treatment when needed, especially for children and infants
• Separate other oral medicines from Dimectal by at least 2 hours
• Check the expiry date before use
• Store below 30°C, away from direct light and moisture
• Do not exceed the recommended dosage
• Keep out of reach of children
• Seek medical advice if diarrhoea lasts more than 7 days or occurs with fever, vomiting, or signs of dehydration

Empty the contents of one sachet into an appropriate amount of water and stir well until evenly mixed. Consume immediately after preparation. For infants, the powder may be mixed with water in a bottle or combined with semi-liquid foods such as baby food or stewed fruit. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding timing and frequency of use.

Dimectal Powder for Oral Suspension 3g generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the sachet and outer carton before use.

• Diosmectite (Dioctahedral Smectite) – a natural clay-based compound that protects the intestinal lining and helps manage diarrhoea symptoms.

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to diosmectite or any ingredient in the formulation
• Patients with severe or chronic constipation should use this product with caution
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding use should be discussed with a healthcare professional
• Should not replace oral rehydration therapy in infants and children with acute diarrhoea
• Medical advice should be sought for persistent diarrhoea, especially when dehydration risk is present

Diosmectite may reduce the absorption of other oral medicines because of its binding properties in the digestive tract. To reduce this risk, separate Dimectal from other oral medications by at least 2 hours unless otherwise advised by your doctor or pharmacist. Inform your healthcare provider about all medicines, supplements, and herbal products you are taking.
